TUosoN. the county sea. of Pima coun- ty. is destined to be one of the finest and most flourishing cities in Arizona, and that within the next ten years. There are thousands of acres of the finest and richest land in that vicinity, lying idle, for want of the necessary capital to util- ;Ee the natural and srtesisn water sd- vsntaRes. Some enterprisins monied men will yet "take time by the forelock" and organize companies to cons ruct irrigsting canals aud bore for ar tesisn water, and thereby not only realize handsomely on the investment but open up for settlement all the-nov oonsidered-wsste land around Tucson and throughout Pima county. This is all that's necessary to make this fair county blossom ss the rose. Ips bound Co come, as sure as the sun shines. The climate we have, ss fine for all purposes as any location Tn the world can present. yes SIT, Tucson will yet be 6 city of great importance. and those who are fortunate enough Co own and hold prop- erty there Nill not be disappointed, The California boom is getting monotonous; lands are increasing in value to such SD extent that people of httle means will not be able to even look st it, and they will soon commence stopping at an in- termediste poin. and that point is Ari- Kone, more especially, Pima county. Set the ball rolling ye Pima capitalists, or Ranize and begin the construction of those irrigatiug canals, those dams and those srtesian wells; scatter the good work out all over our county, and within the next two or three years, the beneficial results will astonIsh, even yourselves. It matters not where you begin, for what helps one part of the county helps all, and the whole people will wake up out of their apparent lethsrgy, and ss 6 result 6 California boom will soon epgult this naturally richest county in ArisonA-Nogslss Record.

NoErHERs CALIFORNIA is preparing to

NoRIHERs CALIFORNIA IS preparing to boon in the wake of the southern p"i-
 i of the state. Ia favor of the scheme, L. Nj. Holt addressing the California State Board of Trade. said when detailing
 how the southern boom had worked that the main element Of success they found to be advertising, snd especially the advertising in the newspapers. h WAS the regular newspaper, and not the advertising sheet. that did the most good. The railroads had always ar ried advertising matter for distribution in the east free of charge. After time, If properly started, the boom will rcn itself, and there will be no necessity for boards of trade, or similar associations. In southern California there is no such thing ss sn association to boom the seo- ton. Mir, Holt predicted inst land in northern and southern California will double within twelve months. But at the san time they could not afford to boom the country except on a fair, square. solid basis. His idea of this work would be vigorous advertising. There is of course, considerable outlay connected with this plan, bn. if persist ed in will repay itself ten fold. Along this same highway the boom for south ern AriEons must travel, if she would have one. and the sooner We bring our- selves to believe this stubborn fact. the sooner will the boom be at our doors.

rHF KENTUCKY ELECTION.

If the National Republican be author. ity the democracy can draw but cold comfort from the Kentucky elections. IL says:
 The Kentucky election returns are all iu and the smoke from the battlefield is clearing svsy SO thst the resultB can be seen and the causes arrived at which produced the results.
 In 1884 Mir Clevelsed received l52, ,96l votes and Mir. Blaine 1ls.763. majority of S4,2O0 in total vote of 275,905. The vote for General Buokner this year is l45 GOO, that is. nearly 5000 less than the vote for Cleveland, while the vote for B-sdley IS sbout l26.000, or nearly 5000 more than the vote for Blaine. The labor and prohibition vote incress- cd nearly 5000 over the vote in 1884, and the total vote polled reaches about 2S5,- 900, an increase of 5000 over the poll in 1884,
 So the net results are 6 Democratic loss of 6,O00-s net Republican gain of 5000 in sn increased poll of 10000.
 The Oourier-Journal, the other Demo cratic papers, and the politicians are talking about its being ap "of year, and there was "s general apathy" among the people in the endesvor to account for their losses. The plea, Tn the face of sn increased vote. falls to the ground, and some other excuse must be found.
 It is notorious that no more vigorous exhaustive, and expensive campaign was ever conducted in Kentucky than the one just closed by the Democrats, Il opened with flourish of trumpets for Bolivar. Betty. and the Baby" The usual packers of the Kentucky Denoc- racy-the whisky pool-put up the nec esssry doodle" and the campaign was thorough.
 Gen. Buckner. Senators Beck and Blackburn, all the Democratic congress men. present and prospective, traversed the state from the mountains of Wes' Virginia to the Mississippi river and from the Ohio to the Tennessee line The bsrb.cues was revived, and every effort made to bring out full vote. The vote came, and it was Waterloo to the Democratic hopes.
 The plan of the Democrats was to in- crease the majority gwen to olevelsnd in 'S4. This would accomplish two ends. It would be great endorsement for Cleveland, and it would show how strong the Kentucky voters were for th' Kentucky voters were for the Kentucky Democratic idess-frse trade and fret whisky. The result was death blow tC both these hopes, snd the Kentucky Democrats are now like 8 boy ( walking in 8 graveyard, "whistling tc keep their courage up.

COMPLAINTS of Americans having beensmurdered in Mexico continue to be made from time to time, and thus far, redress if demanded has never been given. The latest victim was a gentle by name of Tslis. from Pueblo, Col orsdo. He went to Sonora in September last to look after mining property, and was afterwards joined by his step-son. Nothing has been heard of them since. Inquiries were addressed to Consul Vii lard, who ordered an investigation made. In subsequent letter Willard stated that Governor Torres had in formed him that the murderers of the two men were in jail awaiting punish ment, but beyond that nothing has been heard.

IT is remarkably strange that Wells, Fargo & Co. do not keep hounds to aid In running the robbers of its treasures down. If these dogs were. kept and properly handled. not one robber in ff- ty would be able to escape. If instead of paying high priced detectives. who ss B rule accomplish nothing, they kept . few well broken dogs at various places along their immense lines, robberies of trains and stages would be less frequent if not forever ended. It is the prspon dersting chances Of escape in favor of the robber that makes him bold. If dogs were used these chances would be reduced to the merest minimum and
 e capture of the thieves rendered sl-
 .1-lt absolute. As rule even over fs-
 rc:lble ground, trailing by sight IS slow, uncertsin work. and over rocks or hard ground 1t is practically Impossible to follow footmsn that has gone on 6 few hours before. Dogs on the other hand run by scent and never lose the man they are put to follow. No one having the least knowledge of the power of good hound. will doubt for a single moment that the Cienegs train robbers would not now be dead or in custody, had the sheriff and posse but hsd a well trained dog to have trsiled the robbers after they had left the cave. Nightfsll of the same day would have seen the contest ended. The idea entertained by some people, that keeping these dogs for such uses is inhumsn and bsrbarous, is the merest bosh. Men who indiscrim- instely fire into and wreck trains are worse than Apsches and should be hunt ed to death by every means that can be used by the authorities that will lead to heir capture or destruction.

to one instance. The Minnesota Valley

their notes for payment. The notes
were made payable at the Citizens Ma
tional bank in this city, and will be due
on the 18th inst. Every obligation was
redeemed in full before the 10th. Such
promptness as this is rare, but is deci-
dedly commendable. The stock associa-

If some OF our good people who are

would also find that the returns would
be quite as great on their capital as they
will realize through purchases in other
